Life can be danced..........Emptiness can be run.........

Heat can be seen.

Distant can be raised.

Silence can be heared,

Love (can be) drunk.

Life can be danced,

Emptiness can be run.

Belief can be wandered,

Truth (can be) walked.

Seagulls are flying over the roofs,

Sea is far away.

Your thoughts are cradling me,

Gently beaming..

small hands big hands

Baby shots....

Congratulations S&M at your wedding day!!!!

Love story

Who you are?

today i found great inspiration in these words what one of my friends wrote.....

You don’t just take pictures…you don’t just sell albums…you’re not just a photographer! The challenge is finding the words that describe what you are!

You’re an artist. You’re at times a poet and a storyteller. You’re at times a journalist. You’re a technician and an inventor. You’re a therapist, a psychologist – even a mediator. You’re a magician – you capture memories and turn the intangible into reality!

Really thank you!

And i have my memories, my magic moments captured...sometimes just with simple phone camera, but now i know how valuable they are :)

symbols, love and apples

symbols and love...

we all have some secret symbols or signs for goood luck, love, money etc etc...not all of us are brave enough to admit it and they are kept in the dark closets, deep pockets, cardbord boxes or drowers. Un you take them out only when nobody can see it. today i will take one of them out...

Apple!

For me apple allways was something special..-

Apple a Day to keep doctor away. my ex boss was doctor. Did not help, he shower up every day, but appple did not lose its magical meaning for me. May be Doctor was not real, not my apples magical abilities.

In my college times it was - sweet smell of home. My father always packed apples in "food bag" what i took with me to the dorm.

Then there is my grandma sitting in the kitchen and preparing apples for winter.It brings me back to feelings of security and endless happiness.

Starting my wedding photographers carrier i did one of my favorite ring shots "rings on an apple"...after these years it is still symbol and sign for me. It is still in my portfolio as my favorite Shoot.

Last MY "apple shoot" was done in Latvia..again carries a lot of meanings.

Apple from the fathers home, something what we as a kids always had in the pocket or backpack entering the big, scary world "school" .

In this shoot they had 2 apples. Symbolic? ...not like in the Eden's garden, were just Eve was the one who had The Apple..now they both have apples and they are equal. Nobody to blame if they will be forced out from Paradise.

And these apples were from brides fathers home....i picked them up shortly before she entered into big scary merid peoples world. Let's these apples keep all bad things and feelings away from you! The sun what they accumulated during the summer will always be with you the same as grovers thoughts and endless love.

My wish is- J and D, keep and cherish your symbols and love and please stay in your Eden's garden for ever!

rings

Wedding ring shoots are my passion...and each wedding my ring shots are different, just because each of my couples are different and special for me.


The wedding ring is a symbol of eternity.
It is an outward sign of an inward and spiritual bond which unites two hearts in endless love.

Rings in general have a deeply rooted magical significance. Enchanted rings figure in many ancient folk tales.

Incantations and spells for the protection of the wearer of rings are common motifs.

Today, in traditional religious ceremonies, Christian and otherwise, the wedding rings are blessed by a minister or priest, thus continuing the symbolic practice of imbuing rings with protective powers.

Wedding rings have most commonly been worn on the third finger of the left hand. Speculation has it that this is because the Romans believed that a vein ran directly from this finger to the heart. An alternate suggestion for this tradition is that each finger on the hand is associated with a planet in the ancient systems of astrology, and the ring finger of the left hand was associated with the Sun. In this way, the wearing of a wedding ring on that finger signifies the public proclamation of the union in the daylight, in other words, the conscious and clearly visible world of human community. This correspondence is perhaps even more strongly emphasized by the general tendency to craft wedding rings out of gold, which is symbolically the metal of the Sun throughout folk history and across cultures.





The main thing to remember is that wedding rings can be found to match your style and desires. Anything that can't be found can be custom made. You may want to go with the traditional design choices, but if not, then you can choose from a huge variety of metals and stones.

Big question ...

After seeing this shot one of my friends asked me - I wonder if a picture of wedding rings laid over a pre-nuptial agreement would make it through to fame:)

hmmm i will keep this idea in my mind when i will be shooting my ex husbands wedding :)

Key Largo Wedding Day!

getting ready for tomorrow!
